Country K9 Nosework
Build a deeper bond with your dog through the sport of K9 Nose Work®
About Me
Lola Johnson, CNWI is the owner and operator of County K9 Nose Work located in Wallowa County.
In 2010, she was introduced to the sport of K9 Nose Work® and participated in trials with her oldest dog Zita, now a 13-year-old Vizsla who still loves to “find it”. Zita earned her NW1/NW2 titles and a NW3 Vehicle title. Now she trials with her 9-year-old Vizsla, Sissi who has earned her NW1/NW2/NW3 Titles, L1C, AKC Master SWM, AKC SHDM, NASDA LI-I
Nose work has been a part of my life for the past thirteen years. This sport brought so much enjoyment to my timid and scared dog Zita. It helped build her confidence and was something fun we could do together.
Working with new dogs (and their handlers) and watching their excitement and confidence grow from week to week is so much fun. It reminds me of why Zita and I started Nose Work in the first place. What I love about K9 Nose Work® is that any dog can participate no matter their size or breed. No previous experience necessary!
